Personality

In today's world academic knowledge alone is not sufficient to grow and excel in life. A lot of other factors need to be taken care of before we go ahead. We see such things on a regular basis. Today it is no longer possible to get a job or an admission just on the basis of an entrance test. Each of these processes is followed by either a Group Discussion or a Personal Interview, or both. This is clear that we not only have to be technically sound academically but also on other personality fronts.

Personality cannot be broken up into distinct micro factors. Although a few of these can always be listed. These are : Self Awareness, General Awareness, IQ, EQ, Social Skills, Presentation Skills, Creativity, Communication Skills, Assertiveness, Positive attitude etc. All these factors and a few others can always be listed as a necessary part of the Personality of an individual.

Personality is also dynamically able to grow and expand. Each individual depending on the effort put by him, can improve on his / her personality. How we perceive reality, how we react to life, how we look at things, will impact throughout the frame of our personality. Lot of personal growth and self-fulfillment can be achieved if one is aware of the need to develop ones true potential.

It is a generally agreed upon fact that a successful individuals work with people and not on them. They work smart and not hard. They make friends and retains them. These people would always reach the top and stay there, and finally always has a positive outlook towards life.
